Playing in the Ruins

We found these old ruins down by the River. We climbed up and had a bit of fun. It is really humbling to think of the amazing history here. Toledo was at one point the capital of Spain. It was held by the Romans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims at different times. Wars pretty much always went along with the change in power. There are several city walls built by the different groups, each one farther down the mountain. This ruin was part of a tower on the bottom wall. The history is so interesting here, but to think that people had real lives here for thousands of years is pretty awe inspiring.
